Motion 29-20(1): Municipal Block Land Transfer
Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Wednesday, June 5th, 2024, I will move the following motion:
Now therefore I move, seconded by the Member for Frame Lake, that the Government of the Northwest Territories complete the block land transfer of land to communities within municipal and community boundaries without delay;
And further, that the Government of the Northwest Territories remove requirements from communities that are impeding this transfer, such as the requirement for surveying, community zoning and bylaw development for land that is under Government of the Northwest Territories authority;
And furthermore, that the Government of the Northwest Territories remove internal impediments that are delaying the efficient transfer of lands within municipal and community boundaries;
And furthermore, that the Government of the Northwest Territories provide public updates on the status of block land transfer to communities;
And furthermore, that the government respond to this motion within 120 days.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
